FLORENCE, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

 

The first floor studio apartment was perfect for me as a solo traveler, I felt super secure and had all i needed including a nice larger shower. Garrett's place was the ideal base to get to know La Paz from a real neighborhood. The apartment is near enough to walk to the Cathedral, superb modern art museum, Doce Cuarenta coffeeshop, La Miserable Mescaleria and the excellent dining and rooftop bar at Club Baja hotel. Garrett’s place is also one small block in from the quieter northern stretch of the Malecon with a highly rated Italian restaurant Oliva Al Mar, the lively Sushito and good breakfast/lunch spot Rivets all within that one block. The shared rooftop deck with dipping pool is lovely private spot to decompress. At night I used DiDi rideshare to get around which is very inexpensive and responsive – even on Christmas eve. Walking to the public beach at El Coromel is a worthwhile 40 minute hike, but you’ll need to make more of a plan to get to Balandra where there’s no cell service. Andrea the concierge was a great communicator for planning covid testing ahead of time, and she was available during my stay via text. You may come to the area for the boating and Whale Shark tours, and it takes a day or so to get on the same wavelength as the charm of La Paz as a city but before you know it you just don’t want to leave.
